The name “Grand Sport” is entrenched in the racing history of the
Chevrolet Corvette. Now, for the 2010 model year, there is a new
edition that evokes memories of the racecars of the seventies – and
Geigercars.de has already given these rockets an additional
performance upgrade.

With the LS3 V8 under the bonnet, and the corresponding 430 hp and
575 Nm in torque, the Grand Sport is certainly not short of legs
when it leaves the factory. But why be satisfied with production
line performance, when tuning specialist Geigercars.de can give you
something more? Thanks to the Munich pros, a supercharger with a fat
2.3 litres capacity sits on top of the eight-cylinder engine, which
itself exhibits a volume of 6.2 litres. The result is a growth in
the power of the Corvette to an immense 588 hp at 6,490 rpm, and
torque of 738 Nm at 4,030 rpm. This ultimate sports car negotiates
the sprint to 100 km/h in less than four seconds from contact, and
it’s not until reaching 337 km/h that the Geigercars.de rocket is
forced to relent to wind resistance.

The Grand Sport impresses both aesthetically and technically, with
wider front and rear fenders with additional vents, to accommodate
the larger brakes of the sister model Z06 with its 355 mm,
six-cylinder discs at the front axle, and 340 mm, four-cylinder
discs at the rear. The front diffuser and larger rear spoiler are
also borrowed from the engineers of the Corvette Z06. Sway bars,
shock absorbers and springs have also been overhauled in addition to
the six-speed transmission, while a dry sump oil system and
differential cooler are also on board. The battery of the Grand
Sport has been relocated to the rear. Optimum road contact is
guaranteed by the 18 and 19 inch light alloy rims, with 275/35 and
imposing 325/30 tyres.

Special factory-installed emblems on the front fenders, and not
least the special graphics applied by Geigercars.de to the fenders,
bonnet and boot lid, draw even the untrained eye to the character of
this very special elite athlete – and underline that certain
something about the entire project perfectly.
